I do not understand why anyone would tell others things that are not true, if the intention is to meet at some time. I could tell you I am 45 and hung like a horse, but one look and you would die laughing. I am a 70 year old hippie that does not smoke dope, is married and has not interest in putting forth stuff I have to remember to tell people. My memory is also going so any meeting that would be based on anything false would just have a good look at a comedy show.

As an Outsider looking in, so to speak, I am of the opinion here that this song could quite easily relate to the ideology/ideologies that ever so many Americans perceive about the United States of Absurdity ( the U.S. of A.) as well.

Does this mean that when people tell my that I look 45 when I am 68, I shouldn't believe them?

According to her autobiography, that song wasn't actually inspired by Warren Beatty or any man in particular.

I was surprised to learn, in Carly Simon's biography that her father was the publishing firm of Sinon of Simon and Shuster. Although his partners cheated him out of the business.

I think Warren Beatty is a good actor.

She looks really hot in that photo.
Great voice too.

Taking yourself too seriously doesn’t make you superior, it merely makes you a jerk.

As opposed to what? What about self confidence? Sorry, don't buy the generic mantle. Vanity is derived from narcissistic behavior, while truly believing in yourself, your pros and cons and knowing your own limitations is not a bad thing.

Mick Jagger does background vocals on this amazing song. Met her like 40 years ago. She was a cutie.
